TH/P3-2 Fokker-Planck Modelling of NBI deuterons in ITER
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents the 3D Fokker-Planck modelling results of the distribution function of energetic deuterons generated in ITER by 1MeV neutral beam injection. For two basic ITER scenarios we calculate the steady-state distributions of beam deuterons in the energy range 100 keV < E < 1 MeV and demonstrate the poloidal profiles of the beam deuteron density, of the NBI generated current as well as of the NBI power deposition to bulk plasma electrons and ions. Further, we evaluate the capability of gamma and NPA diagnostics of NBI ions in ITER.

Monte-Carlo and Fokker-Planck simulations of Neutral Beam Injection on the JET tokamak
Accurate simulations of Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) in tokamak plasmas are vitally important for the analysis of present experiments since NBI is a main heating and current drive tool used in many tokamaks. Different numerical techniques including Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations of beam particles and the solution of the Fokker-Planck (FP) equation for the beam particle distribution function are u...
متن کاملDevelopment Strategy of RF Ion Source for Neutral Beam Injector in Fusion Devices
Large-area RF-driven ion source is being developed at Germany for the heating and current drive of ITER device [1, 2]. Negative hydrogen ion sources are major components of neutral beam injection systems in future large-scale fusion experiments such as ITER and DEMO. RF sources for the production of positive hydrogen ions have been successfully developed at IPP (Max-Planck-Institute for Plasma ...
متن کاملNumerical Studies and Simulation of the Lower Hybrid Waves Current Drive by using Fokker – Planck Equation in NSST and HT-7 Tokamaks
Recent experiments on the spherical tokamak have discovered the conditions to create a powerful plasma and ensure easy shaping and amplification of stability, high bootstrap current and confinement energy. The spherical tours (ST) fusion energy development path is complementary to the tokamak burning plasma experiment such as NSTX and higher toroidal beta regimes and improves the design of a po...
متن کاملPseudo-spectral Matrix and Normalized Grunwald Approximation for Numerical Solution of Time Fractional Fokker-Planck Equation
This paper presents a new numerical method to solve time fractional Fokker-Planck equation. The space dimension is discretized to the Gauss-Lobatto points, then we apply pseudo-spectral successive integration matrix for this dimension. This approach shows that with less number of points, we can approximate the solution with more accuracy. The numerical results of the examples are displayed.
